The 7 Kinds of Snapchatters
instyle.com

Snapchat – one of the greatest inventions of our time. It allows us to send selfies with more chins than we ever knew we had, turn ourselves into everything from a dog to a strawberry and experience FOMO like no other. It makes you realize just how long 10 seconds is and wonder why you look better as a dog than you do as yourself. Just like anything, everyone has their own Snapchat "style." Whether we realize what kind of Snapchatter we are or not, we are all known for the pictures we send and post to our stories. If you are wondering what kind of Snapchatter you are, then you will find this list extremely helpful. If you already know what kind of Snapchatter you are, then this list will help you realize that you are not alone.

1. The Filter Obsessed

The filter-obsessed Snapchatter would not be caught dead sending a Snapchat without a filter. Whether it be a geofilter letting everyone know where they are or the filter that magically makes you look like a supermodel (still not sure how that filter works to be honest), these Snapchatters love their filters and never send a snap without one. These Snapchatters might even find themselves traveling to new places simply to get the geofilters in that area.

2. The Streak Keeper

This Snapchatter highly values their snapchat streaks, which is the number that lets you know how many days you and your friend have consecutively snapped in a row, and will do everything in their power to maintain them. Nothing is more annoying to a streak keeper than somebody that could not care less about snapchat streaks. In this situation, it is not uncommon for the streak keeper to send a snap of a black screen saying "streak" to encourage the other person to respond in order to keep the streak. Breaking a streak is a very heart-breaking moment for a steak keeper and he or she may require some time to get used to not seeing the fire emoji next to their best friend's name anymore.

3. The Texter

The texter is a huge fan of the messaging feature on Snapchat and does not care that the entire conversation will be deleted as soon as he presses send. There is nothing worse than forgetting what you said when sending a Snapchat message because what you said is gone forever. The texter may have become this kind of Snapchatter because he or she is too lazy to keep switching from Snapchat to their messaging app, which is completely understandable. Pushing the home button can get pretty strenuous from time to time.

4. The Selfie King/Queen

The selfie king or queen is obsessed with taking selfies and does not feel the judgement he or she receives when taking a million selfies in public. The Snapchat story of this kind of Snapchatter is usually loaded with selfies, which may or may not contain the exciting new filters that Snapchat has posted for that day. Just because they like taking selfies does not mean they are always good selfies. This type of Snapchatter has usually mastered the art of taking ugly selfies and not caring.

5. The Repeater

The repeater is the person on Snapchat that thinks it's a good idea to send a picture to individual people and then post it on their Snapchat story as well. There is nothing more annoying than feeling all special when you receive a Snapchat to later finding that exact picture on their Snapchat story. Do not be a repeater.

6. The Anti-Kim

The anti-Kim, which is named after Kim Kardashian West, hates taking selfies and can rarely be caught doing so, unlike selfie queen Kim Kardashian West. Just because this person does not like taking selfies, does not mean that they do not like Snapchat. This Snapchatter often takes pictures of their surroundings in order to communicate with their friends on Snapchat. You may be asking yourself, "Why don't they just text their friend instead?" However, it is just not the same.

7. The Story Teller

This Snapchatter is guilty of having a super long Snapchat story that few people make it to the end of. Long Snapchat stories can sometimes be interesting, but often times are just an extra workout for your thumb. We all know who the story tellers are and often tend to avoid their Snapchat stories. Ain't nobody got time to watch a 200-second Snapchat story.

Most of us are more than just one type of Snapchatter and we find ourselves with qualities from two or more of the different kinds of Snapchatter, and that is okay. Embrace your style and keep on snapping!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
